This is probably a significantly harder list to generate than the Ten Hardest Games of All Time, but its still pretty interesting. Here’s a look at some criteria behind the decisions from the gang at Old-Wizard.com:
What makes a game easy? How about an unlimited amount of lives? How about an unlimited amount of continues after you lost all your lives? How about a seemingly never ending amount of energy? There is something noticeable about all these traits that make a video game easy. All these traits are embodied in most new video games that are released. Gone are the days of working hard to beat a game. Sure, you could beat Contra in ½ an hour, but achieving the skill level of mastering the game took months, if not years. Today’s games are long, and require no mastery to accomplish. With what seems like an unlimited amount of life for the protagonists of new games, comes a gaming disposition that is ubiquitously lazy and lacking in patience. Fight your way to the end of the game without focusing on anything specifically. In this list then, we will go through the top 10 easiest games of all time with the central theme being that new games in the video game medium define what it is to be an easy game. Oh yeah, we will include one old game, but at #10.
